04:28 <steve30000> nope, i like the peace and quiet

14:13 <K> btw where the hell is Ampera
14:17 <Ampera> fuck you
14:19 <Ampera> <3
14:29 <K> ur late!
15:07 <Ampera> I was busy doing things and stuff
18:38 <K> but did the things need doing?
18:46 <Ampera> Yes.
18:47 <Ampera> Yes they did.
19:14 <K> i will need a reference for that
19:48 <Ysjoelfir> Done things are doing great I suppose
20:06 <Ysjoelfir> Also, hi Ampera, how is the you doing?
20:33 <Ampera> I'm doing good, Ysjoelfir how are you
20:57 <Ysjoelfir> pretty nice, thanks
21:00 <Ysjoelfir> and how is K?
21:14 <K> is acceptable
21:22 <K> we have fucking snow, again
21:27 <Ampera> things that needed doing caused a delay in the making of this morning's tea
21:32 <Ampera> which I may go and rectify in a moment
21:49 <K> fully rectified tea!
23:03 <K> (electroboom noises)
24:39 <steve30000> snowing here too
27:03 <K> completely unnecessary

32:25 <Ysjoelfir> it snowed here yesterday

40:04 <Ampera> I got fucked 8 inches deep on saturday.
40:15 <Ampera> shit was wet and heavy
40:41 <Ampera> I wore myself out trying to clear it
41:48 Quit: pa1983 ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
41:48 <K> 8 inches too much for you eh
42:15 <Ampera> not the hardest I've ever gotten fucked, but it's still too deep
42:46 <K> just too much and no end in sight
42:52 <steve30000> You don't strike me as the kind of person who would "get fucked" :p
50:43 <Ampera> steve30000, oh and why is that?
52:38 <steve30000> Maybe Halcyon paid a visit :D
53:21 <steve30000> Of the subject of Ampera, I was thinking about you this morning when I went for a pleasant walk through New York.
53:44 <Ampera> That is the most fucked up sentence I have ever read in every single possible respect.
53:49 <Ampera> None of that should be even remotely possible.

25:43 <Kuschelpony> whinny
38:29 <rust7> hey pony master
38:53 <rust7> did you finish putting those speakers in place?
49:40 <Kuschelpony> yes
49:52 <Kuschelpony> already last week but i do not have made photos yet
50:12 <rust7> but, do they sound good?
50:24 <Kuschelpony> have decided to put this back for a while, no as expected from these speakers not
50:40 <Kuschelpony> i did it mostly for the retro factor and to play with the surround matrix
50:52 <Kuschelpony> that the speakers have a uneven frequency response waas expected
51:08 <Kuschelpony> the longterm plan is anyway to add a power amplifier into the box with equalizing network
52:05 <Kuschelpony> on a more positive side, got my two accumulator chergers earlier than expected today, was scheduled for friday
53:44 <rust7> oh no! then you have 2 days too much, to work on stuff.
59:07 <Kuschelpony> and much more opportunities to analyze doubtful cells
59:29 <rust7> what sort of batteries is this for?
00:46 <Kuschelpony> all from AAA to 32700, NiMH and Li-Ion
00:59 <rust7> oh, that sounds handy
01:29 <Kuschelpony> its the Opus BT-C3100 4-channel charger and the BT-C100 single channel charger
02:36 <Kuschelpony> the latter one has the special feature that it can also run from an charged ceel to act as USB powerbank, also gives a good overview of cell health during discharge tests
07:02 <Kuschelpony> also got a pack of 18500 Li-ion-cells as upgrade for my flashlight, to replace the 3*AAA
08:56 <rust7> I have to find some use for my 18650s, I am not sure why, but I keep them around.
10:02 <Kuschelpony> i have not yet a place for them
10:35 <Kuschelpony> would have been great for the flashlights, but getting a custom case extender with these fine threads machined would have costed a lot more than just buying the right size cells
11:19 <rust7> so, you need a lathe, so you can make stuff forever
15:21 <Kuschelpony> even if i would have one i could perhaps not...
15:27 <Kuschelpony> thats for the mchanics wizards
28:42 <rust7> well, you do not have to use it for all the things it can do. but, you can do a lot with one, and if you need an extended flashlight today, and maybe a piece of pipe tomorrow, and a copper washer next week. it adds up, so it turns out to be a good investment? But yes, it is a thing you probably have to want to use

19:05 * watcher know this before because from looking in Ysjoelfir agenda
19:14 <Ysjoelfir> xD
20:56 * Ysjoelfir wonders when he had to actively sort out manufacturers when looking through digikeys stock
23:14 <Ysjoelfir> I mean, I remember some months ago it was pretty normal for me to basically just mark all eg. manufacturers of diodes, and just remove like.... onSemi. Now I have to remove things like "Yangzhou Zangjie Electronic Technology Co. Ltd" or "ANBON SEMICONDUCTOR (INT'L) LIMITED". when did all these add digikeys manufacturer database?
25:51 <Ysjoelfir> and what is it with nexperias fetish for commas in component names?
25:56 * Ysjoelfir is on a little rant spree
26:00 * Ysjoelfir excuses himselt
31:50 * Ysjoelfir has to continue because he noticed, that in the Nexperia Datasheet there is no mention at all about these stupid ,215 / ,235 appendixes
32:09 <Ysjoelfir> so what is it now? which part should I choose? what does this comma sayyyyy?
32:13 * Ysjoelfir explodes
33:12 * steve30000 passes Ysjoelfir some chinesium
34:37 <watcher> Ysjoelfir I only can advice you to take the company phone and call the company now and ask what the comma in the partname means. Maybe also ask you a dump of all datasheets that they write until today.
39:38 <rust7> internet says the comma number is the type of packaging. reel, or so...
40:08 <watcher> Hello rust7
40:15 <rust7> hey!
41:30 <Ysjoelfir> yeah, I just found out, one is 5 inch reel, one is 11 inch reel. thanks
42:00 <rust7> no 7"?

53:52 <Nothing\> heyo
53:57 <Ampera> CORNED BEEF
54:09 <Nothing\> dammit Ampera first thing you do is make me hungry
54:24 <Nothing\> also the only corned beef i have access to is in a can so that just makes it even more cruel to bring up
54:37 <Ampera> that's not real corned beef
54:43 <Ampera> I mean, it is, but it's a different real corned beef
54:48 <Nothing\> that's what makes bringing it up so cruel!
54:50 <Nothing\> ol
54:57 <Ampera> hop the border and get some
55:03 <Nothing\> i think i've had real corned beef. Is that like a brisket?
55:05 <Ampera> every store in the area here sells it cheap around st. patrick's day
55:24 <Nothing\> oh yeah it's thta time of year isn't it
55:25 <Ampera> It's a brisket that's been sort of salted and almost pickled
55:35 <Ampera> patty's day is friday next week
55:37 <Nothing\> salted? you mean even more?
55:44 <Nothing\> oh wow i didn't know that
55:51 <Nothing\> i thought it was in like 2 or 3 weeks
55:51 <Ampera> idk, I've never had brisket besides corned beef
56:05 <Nothing\> i've had brisket and it was way too salty for my taste
56:07 <Ampera> probably gonna raid the stores for a couple of them.
56:20 <Nothing\> i don't like a lot of spices, but i don't usually mind salt. But this stuff was drowning in it.
56:21 <Ampera> Corned beef is quite salty, but the taste is just legendary
56:33 <Ampera> Typically corned beef is cooked with pickling spices
56:33 <Nothing\> it was very tender though
56:36 <Nothing\> slow cooked
56:37 <Ampera> mustard and things
56:45 <Ampera> Did it fall apart in strings?
56:49 <Ampera> with a lot of liquid
56:49 <Nothing\> sure did
56:52 <Nothing\> yup
56:56 <Ampera> yeah that's corned beef
57:09 <Nothing\> ah well... that's a shame i wasn't a fan
57:10 <Ampera> salt + spices (optional) + brisket + slow cooked
57:18 <Nothing\> yeah basically still red
57:22 <Nothing\> but cooked prope
57:23 <Nothing\> r
57:31 <Ampera> mashed potatoes are a good idea to absorb the salt
57:35 <Ampera> but I can easily eat corned beef just as it is
57:54 <Nothing\> hey that's a good idea. I didn't think of using sides to absorb excess spices from the main
58:09 <Nothing\> one problem i have with north american cuisine is everything is killed with spices
58:11 <Nothing\> to death!
58:19 <Ampera> everything?
58:27 <Nothing\> there's no subtlty
58:31 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
58:31 <Nothing\> Ampera, in general
58:53 <Nothing\> i should say, american takes on non-american meals
58:58 <Nothing\> they drown it in spices
59:34 * Ampera has tea
59:40 <Ampera> it's barley tea
00:17 <Nothing\> especially garlic. Man I go to this pizza chain here to buy what's basically these big bread stuffed with cheese. Which are great. But they come literally dripping with garlic butter AND topped with a ridiculous amount of garlic salt
00:27 Nick: steve30000000 is now known as steve30
00:27 <Ampera> sounds good
00:30 <Nothing\> i mean is one or the other not good enough? just use the damn garlic butter
00:35 <Ampera> more garlic
00:39 <Ampera> maximize the garlic
00:39 <Nothing\> Ampera, it is when they get the garlic salt just right
00:45 <Nothing\> nah, too much for me
00:55 <Nothing\> heya stevey how ya doing bud?
01:10 <Ampera> one of the best things I ever had was piri piri poutine (and piri piri chicken) in montreal
01:15 <steve30> just tired
01:26 <Nothing\> steve30, you need some coffee in you
01:29 <Nothing\> sounds like
01:33 <Ampera> I actually hadn't had poutine before I went to canoodlia. It exists down here, but nobody does it right
01:51 <Nothing\> Ampera, is piri piri like a local restaurant or a variation on poutine?
02:02 <Ampera> It's a flavor/spice profile
02:11 <Ampera> sorta tangy and spicy
02:20 <Ampera> it doesn't exist in any form down here that I'm aware of
02:21 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah they even sell it at kfc here. Which you'd think fast food poutine wouldn't be great, but with KFC gravy and fries it's even better, almost.
02:35 <Ampera> Fast food poutine doesn't happen here
02:47 <Ampera> idk why, it's great
03:04 <Ampera> whenever places around here do poutine, they typically use clear gravy and mozzarella cheese
03:06 <Nothing\> though admittedly I've never had a proper poutine. I must some time. But I don't think I've ever seen it at a restaurant. And I don't eat out anymore. It's too expensive and I've become too agoraphobic
03:15 <Ampera> which just makes a thick, watery, uncomfortable mess
03:23 <Nothing\> i literally only leave the house for the methadone clinic now
03:33 <Nothing\> once a week for an hour, that's it
03:45 <Nothing\> maybe twice if i have to go to the dispensary
04:08 <Ampera> I apparently missed a trick in Montreal, I didn't go to La Banquise, which is apparently the place to go for poutine in montreal
04:11 <Nothing\> but i try to avoid it because i'm usually in physical agony any time i go out anyways thanks to these stupid bowel pains i still have
04:33 <Nothing\> i'm pretty certain they're from my clonazepam now. After dealing with them for the better part of a year and a half
04:39 <Nothing\> daily
04:51 <Ampera> I'm wanting to go to tronno at some point, but the drive is gonna suck bad, and it kinda feels like it'd just be NYC but canada

05:02 * T3sl4 pets the Nothing\
05:06 <Ampera> I WANNA PETTA DA CAT
05:10 <Ampera> SCREAMCAT
05:15 <Ampera> EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
05:25 <T3sl4> Ampera: https://i.imgur.com/NH920FK.png
05:28 <Nothing\> my brother just put his cat down 2 days ago :(
05:33 <Nothing\> i never knew her but i still cried
05:36 <T3sl4> aww rip
05:41 <steve30> aww
05:45 <Nothing\> for her, for him, despite our differences
05:47 <Ampera> T3sl4, I saw, and I am not happy to see that again
06:03 <Ampera> getting fucked by a teletubby is a nightmare event, not a fantasy
06:15 <Nothing\> i suggested taking a lock of fur but i guess she was too matted so he's going to try and get a paw print on a card like he did with his last cat
06:22 <Nothing\> which he just put down 2 years ago, the poor guy
06:26 * T3sl4 blurples Ampera
06:34 <Nothing\> and he put down another cat maybe 4 or 5 years ago
06:47 <Nothing\> he keeps adopting older cats, he's not doing anything wrong here lol
06:50 <Nothing\> just to be clear
07:38 <Nothing\> i think this one was 12 or 13 and just in such bad health she wasn't even mobile enough to use the litter box so he was constantly cleaning up after her. And being as depressed as he was, he wasn't always thorough about it.
08:36 <Nothing\> it's funny too because when my mum mentioned that to me, I had JUST read in an article at random about how not using the litter box is a serious warning sign of health issues in cats. Which I didn't think of.
08:50 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Quit: Ex-Chat
09:23 <Nothing\> I've had cats almost my entire life but I've been blessed to have them all be healthy. The 3 I grew up with, 2 had to be given away when my mum lost the house and my brother took the 3rd to live with him to the ripe old age of 16.
09:37 <Nothing\> he only died because he caught something from an outdoor cat that lived with them
09:49 <Nothing\> he was a hell of a cat, sylvester
10:01 <Nothing\> had the same coloring, too
10:27 <Nothing\> my brother took his death really hard. That was our kitty we got when i was only 4
10:40 * steve30 curls up on T3sl4's keyboard
10:51 * T3sl4 pets the steve30
11:16 <Nothing\> then his other cat, patrick had the exact same coloring and behavior/mannerisms of sylvester, so he took him to be his reincarnation. I think literally.
11:41 <Nothing\> yeah, things like this make you wanna nuzzle your own kitties extra hard
11:48 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
12:03 * electrohead waves and things
12:23 <Nothing\> except my kitties have a bubble and get smothered too easily. My one doesn't even like me sitting next to her while she sleeps. She'll get up and move every time.
12:49 <Nothing\> electrohead, at what frequency are you waving?
12:55 <Nothing\> heyyyyyyy
12:58 <Nothing\> that gives me an idea
13:07 <Nothing\> i'm gonna go back and watch old videos of the queen waving
13:33 <Nothing\> and do my own visual analysis to discover the frequency of queen waves
13:48 <Nothing\> then write a whole paper on it and submit it to a physics journal
14:13 <Nothing\> actually i should do the same on squirrels. They become very wave-like at high velocities.
14:39 <Nothing\> you can actually measure their wave length on a snowy fence if one's been running on it, i've found
14:59 <Nothing\> the minima produce a depression in the snow
15:06 <Nothing\> :P
15:22 <Ampera> I'm gonna eat ass and chew bubble gum
15:24 <Ampera> and I'm all outta ass
15:28 <Nothing\> haha
15:33 <Nothing\> that's a good one
15:52 <Nothing\> i thought i was the only one who randomly mixed up sayings and stuff in their head
16:29 <Ampera> Mixed metaphors are like mixed nuts. Hard and greasy.
16:51 <Nothing\> like for some reason i'm constantly (involuntarily) trying to sing the juicy fruit song in my head with every word completely out of order, no word shall appear in the same spot, or next to the same word as it does in the original song, but it must contain all of the words and follow the rhythm
17:01 <Nothing\> Ampera, i can't eat nuts
17:05 <Nothing\> not enough teeth
17:13 <Nothing\> can't chew nuts with 2 functional molars
17:19 <Ampera> I can't eat ass
17:21 <Ampera> not enough ass
17:25 <Nothing\> well, intact. I guess the rest are sort of functional.
17:31 <Nothing\> Ampera, you're just not flexible enough
17:44 <Nothing\> you need to harness your inner cat
17:58 <Ampera> big brain move isn't suck your own dick, it's going all the way around and eating your own ass
18:03 <Nothing\> lol you know my one cat used to suckle on herself when she was a kitten if you got her real relaxed.
18:18 <Nothing\> it was really weird. Like she was using her own nipple as a pacifier.
18:40 <Nothing\> Ampera, lol or the big-dick move of screwing yourself
18:43 <Nothing\> literally
19:04 <Ampera> big dick move of fucking your own cunt
19:25 <Nothing\> ol that reminds me of one of those gonzo porn clips all over the internet that i saw where this dude stuck both of his nuts up a woman's ass.
19:44 <Nothing\> I don't know how on earth he got pleasure from that and not searing pain. God forbid she gets spooked and tenses up.
19:58 <Nothing\> or you get stuck
19:59 <Ampera> sounds like how I want to get castrated
20:15 <Nothing\> haha yeah use the sphincter like an elastic band
20:23 <Nothing\> great minds think alike
21:12 <Nothing\> that reminds me, i've been talking to chatgpt a lot lately. Like actually talking, not just poking around to see what it can do as DAN (Do Anything NOW)
21:32 <Nothing\> which i guess is the latest "hack" that forces it outside of its parameters. Made me yawn.
22:06 <Nothing\> I had more fun discussing the implications of 2 dimensional time on how the universe would work
23:11 <Nothing\> or how The Flash would inevitably die very quickly because of his super fast metabolism which he couldn't physically consume enough Calories to sustain, and would cause extensive metabolic damage (excitotoxicity, oxidative stress) to his brain and body.
24:09 <Nothing\> or I found it can write snippets of code in an instant if you just ask
24:31 <Nothing\> that's been very nifty. Helped me solve some math problems that would have otherwise taken weeks, or months to work out.
25:09 <Nothing\> it's really good as a resource. Especially for replacing google as a quick reference.
25:34 <Nothing\> i need just ask and it gives me more relevant information than anything on google ever could. ANd without having to read an entire article first.
27:16 <Nothing\> like my phone's been doing this really infuriating thing where when i go to hang up, instead it thinks i'm trying to place a conference call, so it goes back to the key pad, appearing as though I'd hung up. But the call is still connected (such as after leaving a voicemail and it's still recording). So I go on talking about this and that, under the assumption the call was hung up, only to hear shit from the voicema
27:16 <Nothing\> minutes later giving me instructions on how to save or delete my message.
27:58 <Nothing\> but of course because the phone thinks i'm trying to make a conference call, it's got a fresh keypad up ready to make ANOTHER phone call, and with absolutely no (obvious) way to disconnect the original call.
28:29 <Nothing\> I think I read the power button can do that. But half of the information I looked up was years old and pertained to obsolete phones.
28:52 <Nothing\> finally i noticed the "add call" button which happens to be right next to the "disconnect" button
29:15 <Nothing\> so if you're just 1/8in off from your tap, you've got problems on your hands.
29:44 <Nothing\> ah anxiety meds kicking in. Haven't had relief like this in weeks
29:56 * Nothing\ wallows
32:20 <Nothing\> so I thought of a good use for my microwave oven transformers, or one of them anyways.
33:14 <Kuschelpony> for a slightly different queation:
33:34 <Kuschelpony> do you have suggestions for a boost or flyback converter somewhat similar to the LT1170 ?
33:41 <Kuschelpony> https://www.analog.com/en/products/lt1170.html
33:41 <EEVBot> [url] LT1170 Datasheet and Product Info | Analog Devices | www.analog.com
33:45 <Nothing\> I saw a video of electroboom playing with one (without a single safety warning, of course) and in the course of beating the piss out of the thing with a hammer, he managed to seperate the laminated iron plates. So when he ran AC through it, the whole thing would buzz at that frequency. I was thinking that'd make a cool "speaker"
33:56 <Kuschelpony> has to convert 5V USB to 20V accumulator pack
34:22 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, wish I could help Kuschelpony but unfortunately my experience is lacking in this matter. Sorry, bud.
34:32 <Kuschelpony> no worries
35:09 <Nothing\> i've been learning about high power, solid state microwave transmitters lately.
36:35 <Nothing\> I found a demonstration at a trade show from some swiss company showing off a solid state microwave oven. Although it was only 200 or 250 watts lol. But it sounds like they use a low power solid state method, and then run that through an amplifier.
37:43 <Nothing\> for all the roundaboutness of it though, it really didn't seem worth it. Especially for a microwave with 1/5-1/6 the power output of my microwave, which probably costs 10x as a much and is probably not terribly efficient.
38:25 <Nothing\> though i could be wrong about the latter. The guy demonstrating it did say that it heated food more evenly but I don't see what solid state has to do with that. Maybe a different radiation pattern out of the antenna?
39:07 <Nothing\> heh when I was in prison in toronto, I was actually in with a guy who made waveguides for a company which made industrial microwave ovens.
40:45 <Nothing\> it was funny because everyone initially asked me about meself, you know, vetting the new guy. And I explained I work with electronics and they were all skeptical, but took it with a grain a saltf
41:25 <Nothing\> then this guy comes along and they see me spending 2-3 hours talking RF with him. Then I break out the Russian I know and they stopped questioning what I said after that.
43:15 <Nothing\> but i assume for solid state rf they just use tunnel/gunn diodes with an amp
43:37 <Nothing\> or maybe a lambda diode. Which I just remembered I've been meaning to make one of those for some years now
43:56 <Nothing\> i really should, if i can dig up my p channel jfets. Or even remember what they were called.
44:34 <Nothing\> oh Ampera i'm considering asking my doc about going on test today
44:47 <Ampera> on wha
44:54 <Nothing\> osterone
45:01 <Ampera> why would you want to do that
46:06 <Nothing\> because I'm crippling depresed, have no energy at all, my penis goes inside of me on a regular basis, i'm tired of peeing on my balls, and most of all, i'm unbearably irritable and a misery to be around. Low testerone is implicated in all of these things.
46:25 <Nothing\> But I agree. I really wish there was a way to do it without taking myself out of this nice, asexual phase i'm in.
46:30 <Nothing\> i LOVE not thinking about sex
46:32 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
46:46 <Nothing\> i spend maybe 5 minutes a month when I fap and that's it
46:58 <Nothing\> and i only fap for utilitarian purposes. To keep everything cleared out and healthy.
47:04 <Ampera> one of the best parts about taking the drugs I take is a far reduced libido
47:15 <Nothing\> no epidydimitis or prostitis
47:28 <Nothing\> oh i agree
47:43 <Nothing\> that's by far been the best part about opioids destroying my testosterone production
47:48 <Ampera> T never helped with my depression, it just made me anxious and my high sex drive made me hate my situation even more
47:56 <Nothing\> but the way I see it. If it really becomes an issue, I can always stop taking it again.
48:09 <Ampera> but ymmv
48:25 <Ampera> I still have a sex drive, it's sorta kinda just different now, and I don't pee on my balls :P
48:29 <Nothing\> Ampera, right but your sex drive in general causes you anxiety an account of your confusion/whatever you wanna call it
48:42 <Ampera> not really
48:47 <Ampera> it's more nuanced than that
48:57 <Nothing\> i could see having sexual urges to be distressing. IN the same light as a gay man who hasn't yet figured himself out.
49:17 <Ampera> huh?
49:19 <Nothing\> Ampera, oh it always is. Forgive me if I seemed to be trivializing it.
49:43 <Ampera> I wouldn't describe my self as just being a gay man who hasn't figured himself out
50:17 <Nothing\> Ampera, like how a closetted gay would feel anxiety if he were aroused because it's probably from a source he doesn't want it to do from, or doesn't understand why it's coming from there. In short, he's distressed by the confusion and so on.
50:29 <Ampera> pff, I wish I was just gay
50:32 <Ampera> that would make this shit so much easier
50:33 <Nothing\> i just thought maybe (just speculating mind you) it could have been the same with you.
50:58 <Nothing\> oh i just use that as an analogy but i'm talking really anyone with socially taboo sexual... "deviances"-
51:03 <Nothing\> as they call them
51:16 <Ampera> if I knew for sure I could, I'd drop every single dollar to my name on being just gay.
51:20 <Nothing\> and when did deviation become a bad thing btw?
51:30 <Nothing\> i thought that's what made us all special
51:36 <Ampera> did I say it was?
51:47 <Nothing\> never
51:53 <Nothing\> sorry
52:08 * jaymax sketches a DeviancesArt for Nothing\
52:40 <Nothing\> bear in mind i'm completely in the dark here. Though i've had lots of queer friends (is that the right umbrella term?) I still can't understand it unless i've been through it.
52:44 <Nothing\> even secondhand.
52:53 <Ampera> To describe how I feel or exactly how my feelings work is impossible. I have what I think is a good understanding of them, but I have plenty of doubts, and my confidence comes in swings.
53:00 <Nothing\> jaymax, that site seemed to fade into obscurity awful sudden,ly didn't it?
53:03 <Ampera> queer is a dumb term, but all terms are dumb
53:09 <jaymax> ^
53:27 <Ampera> there's plenty of violent debate to be had about at what point one actually is "transgender"
53:29 <Nothing\> Ampera, well it sounds like you've definitely made some progress since I met you.
53:35 <Ampera> or if you "need GD" to be trans
54:16 <Nothing\> Ampera, what's it matter? labels are trivial.
54:17 <Ampera> and don't forget the soon to be canceled term bisexual :)
54:31 <Nothing\> "if you label me, you negate me" Kierkegaard
54:34 <jaymax> Well, transvestism existed for thousands of years. Seems to work out OK.
54:53 <Ampera> jaymax, it's all a soup of connotations.
54:56 <Nothing\> although that quote is from wayne's world so it may not be factual. But it's still a good one.
54:57 <Ampera> I just wanna live my life, man
55:05 <Nothing\> Ampera, tell me about it
55:09 <Nothing\> that's why i'm agoraphobic
55:22 <Nothing\> i want to hide away from the world and the issues that come with it
55:27 <Nothing\> and just live my own life in peace
55:29 <jaymax> Nothing\: You're afraid of Al Gore too?
55:34 <Ampera> None of what I do is about being gay or somehow finding some alphabet soup identity. At this point I don't even think I /have/ an identity.
55:42 <Nothing\> with JUST enough to get by and nothing more.
55:47 <Nothing\> i don't need to be rich
56:02 <Nothing\> jaymax, more than words can convey
56:13 <Ampera> In the end, it's feelings and emotions that make me feel incapable of expressing sexuality as a man.
56:23 <Nothing\> jaymax, he will be the pregenitor of the robot uprising
56:44 <jaymax> Ampera: I've been there. I blame Pink. Or whatever her real name is.
56:57 <Nothing\> Ampera, i'm sure language fails you as well. Like, there isn't proper language to articulate what you feel, what you're going through, how you identify etc
57:24 <jaymax> The male gaze is the most retarted thing that fuicking exists in society.
57:53 <Ampera> I think the main thing that HRT has done is cool down how much my natural hormones impact that. All the desires are still there, but I don't feel like my body is pulling me further away from them.
58:29 <Ampera> The problem is this is a transient state, and even if I feel alright now, I have to still reckon with actually changing my entire life and persona just to match the way I feel in some culturally derived mimicking act.
58:57 <jaymax> Militaries had that same idea about saltpetre, and prisons with anti-depressants - I was fascinated by that a couple decades ago.
59:41 <Ampera> It's all back to the original question of what the difference is between being a man or a woman. The distinction has slowly become more and more meaningless to me.
59:59 <jaymax> Ampera: because it *is* meaningless.
